Over the last couple of years, TikTok rose through the ranks to become one of our favourite platforms for viral beauty hacks and product recommendations.

And if the app is going to make you do anything, it’s shop. In this instance, we’re talking about fragrances, which means we’re close to being broke at this point.

If your For You Page hasn’t been taken over by #PerfumeTok just yet, allow us to introduce you to the top fragrances that went viral on the app.

TikTok-famous fragrances you need to try

Phlur Missing Person Eau de Parfum

tiktok famous fragrances phlur

A universal fragrance that recreates the smell of the person you’re missing? Sounds a little impossible, but TikTok users disagree.

Earlier last year, users on the app went wild over Phlur’s Missing Person, a fragrance that’s said to evoke the scent of someone your heart is aching for.

Chriselle Lim, the label’s creative director, describes it as an “addictive fragrance – like the lingering scent of your lover’s skin left on their T-shirt or a pillowcase. It’s evocative but strangely familiar. It will warm your skin and heal your soul.”

The fragrance blends a top note of “skin musk” with aromatic bergamot, jasmine, neroli blossom, as well as sandalwood for a warm, cosy scent that’s a little floral yet musky.

TikToker Rachel Rigler reviewed it and then let her boyfriend take a whiff. “It smells like the feeling of being in love and it’s very familiar,” she contemplates.

Makeup artist Mikayla Nogueira bought a bottle in response and posted her reaction to her 14.3 million followers. “I don’t know how to explain this. It smells like a person that you love and that you miss,” she says as she starts tearing up.

You wouldn’t believe this – five hours later, the perfume was sold out and racked up a waiting list of over 200,000 customers.

Phlur Missing Person Eau de Parfum retails for S$36.50 (9.5ml) and S$134 (50ml) on Selfridges

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540

tiktok famous fragrances baccarat rouge

According to TikTok, this expensive pick is worth every penny.

Intoxicating jasmine and spicy saffron set the tone for this bright fragrance, enhancing the mineral notes of ambergris and the woodiness of cedar. Sensual and ambery, just how we like it.

As one user commented, “I’m convinced that’s the best-smelling perfume on earth,” while another said, “I can’t go anywhere without someone stopping me to say I smell amazing. The scent is ridiculously amazing.”

Of course, it’s worth noting that the fragrance comes with a hefty price tag – and we mean hefty. “As a single mum I could never afford it so I promised myself I’ll get it when I get a promotion,” one commenter wrote.

It’s definitely an investment, so it’s a good idea to try it out before purchasing.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 retails for S$264 (35ml), S$461 (70ml), and S$912 (200ml) on Tangs and Escentials

Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum

If you love a sweet scent, then you ought to give Ariana Grande’s Cloud perfume a try.

The fragrance opens with lavender blossom, juicy pear, and bergamot as it paves the way for creamier notes like crème de coconut, praline, and blonde woods.

It’s an affordable crowd-pleaser that doesn’t smell overly synthetic, which is why TikTok is absolutely obsessed with this fragrance.

Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum retails for S$111.90 on Amazon.sg.

Glossier You Eau de Parfum

tiktok famous fragrances glossier

TikTok loves personalised scents, and Glossier You is a popular one that smells slightly different on everyone. As its name suggests, it’s supposed to smell like you but better.

The simple blend of pink pepper, iris, ambrette seeds, and ambrox allows the fragrance to wear differently on everyone, but it’ll always be subtle, a little verdant, and musky.

At this moment, the #GlossierYou hashtag has 125.9 million views, and those who have tried it say it’s definitely worth the hype.

“I picked up two of my boy friends to go out. The minute they got in the car, they went, ‘What’s that smell? It’s really nice’,” TikToker @milliecroker1 shared. “I have never gotten so many compliments on a fragrance before,” another user vouched.

Glossier You Eau de Parfum retails for S$130 (50ml) on Shopee.

Pure Instinct Pheromone Oil

Another personalised scent to cop is a roll-on perfume oil from Pure Instinct.

Although it bears notes of juicy Australian mango, mandarin, honey, cinnamon, and white musk, the fragrance doesn’t quite smell the same on everyone. It adjusts to your skin’s pH for a memorable scent that’s entirely your own.

Pure Instinct Pheromone Oil retails for S$39.02 (10ml) on Amazon.sg.

Parfums de Marly Delina Eau de Parfum

tiktok famous fragrances delina

More than just a pretty bottle, Delina is a floral fragrance dedicated to all the peony lovers out there.

It brings together bergamot essence, peony, and Turkish rose, sweetening the blend with notes of vanilla, lychee, and zesty rhubarb and grounding it with cashmeran, cedar, Haitian vetiver, incense, and musk.

It’s certainly a playful scent that’s a little refined and slightly mysterious.

Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume

tiktok famous fragrances juliette has a gun

If you consider yourself a minimalist, you’d probably fall in love with Juliette Has a Gun’s Not a Perfume.

The fragrance is made with a single component known as Cetalox, often used in perfumery as a base note. Here, it has a chance to shine, and the result is a light musk that’s subtle – perfect for everyday use, but still distinctive enough to become your signature scent.

Those who are sensitive to fragrances will also be pleased to know that this scent is entirely allergen-free!

YSL Libre Eau de Parfum

Simply put, YSL Libre smells like the kind of woman who has her life together.

It opens with French lavender and orange blossom before vanilla extract, cedarwood oil, ambergris accord, and musk are introduced. This warm floral scent is sensual and refined, yet easy to wear. No wonder it’s left such a huge impression on TikTok users.

If you want to up its intensity and lasting power, try the YSL Libre Intense. This seductive, deep fragrance has also won the hearts of users on #PerfumeTok.

This gender-neutral fragrance is an absolute must-have.

It combines notes of iris and violet with a touch of spicy cardamom, which enhance the woody base of sandalwood and cedarwood. The leathery, musky notes are what give this perfume its signature comforting scent.

With 5.3 million views, the hashtag #LeLaboSantal33 has plenty of fans online and offline. Did you know that celebs like Alexa Chung, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Bieber adore the fragrance too?

Maison Margiela REPLICA By The Fireplace Eau de Toilette

tiktok famous fragrances margiela

While there’s never a need for us to own a fireplace given our humid climate, a girl can dream of a white Christmas, roasting chestnuts and marshmallows on an open fire. That’s exactly what this fragrance seeks to capture in a bottle.

Its notes of vanilla, chestnut, neroli essence, and woody accord create a cosy gourmand fragrance that isn’t too heavy. In fact, notes of red berries and orange blossom add lightness to the unisex scent. You’ll want this fragrance to linger on your clothes, for sure.

When fragrance TikToker @melissanacional shared her top “nose-to-the-neck” fragrances, a commenter agreed, saying, “By the Fireplace 10000%!! Been wearing it [for] a while and someone always smells the air around me to get closer lol.”

TikTok user @drewdakotaforbes put it like this, “It smells like a very fancy bookstore in the most delectable way.”

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist

tiktok famous fragrances sol de janeiro

This summery scent is perfect for warmer weather, but it isn’t one for those who hate fragrances that smell like dessert.

If you’re familiar with the brand’s Bum Bum Cream and you wish you could bottle up the scent, Sol de Janeiro has granted your wish. Notes of pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla create an irresistibly delicious fragrance that’s bound to get you compliments whenever you wear it.

“It doesn’t smell like cheap pistachio and salted caramel,” TikToker @bethennyfrankel remarks, sharing how the fragrance has earned a place on her fragrance tray.

A commenter responded, “I use it for work every day and I’m a nurse! So fresh, not strong.” However, most reviews agree that the scent doesn’t last for very long since it is a body mist.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist retails for S$34.90 on Amazon.sg.

Kilian Love, don’t be shy Eau de Parfum

tiktok famous fragrances kilian

Before Rihanna created her iconic Fenty Eau De Parfum, Kilian’s Love, Don’t Be Shy was reportedly her signature scent, so it’s no wonder TikTok adores it too.

It seeks to capture first love’s innocence with plush rose and juicy honeysuckle, caressed by the sweetness of marshmallow sugar and vanilla. The fragrance’s warm amber base adds a touch of sensuality and marries neroli and orange blossom for a scent that’s unforgettable.

If it’s good enough for Rih, it’s good enough for us, we’ll tell you that much.

“When I first tested this, I thought it was too sweet. But as of right now, I’ve done a full 180. I started testing this again recently, and I love this,” she shares. “I’m gonna give this a 20 out of 10 because it’s sensual, it’s seductive, it’s sweet, it smells like heaven.”

Kilian Love, don’t be shy Eau de Parfum retails for S$428 (50ml) on Tangs.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum

A cherry fragrance sounds like it would smell of cough medicine, but trust us – that’s not what Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry smells like.

This sophisticated take on cherry is fruity and sweet, but still dark and sensual, thanks to the addition of tonka bean, almond, and tobacco. It’s a mature scent that’s warm and woody.

Givenchy L’Interdit Rouge Eau de Parfum

There’s a reason why Givenchy’s L’Interdit Rouge is always sold out.

Its stans on TikTok love it for the heady blend of orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose, enriched by piquant ginger, sandalwood, and a touch of blood orange. Classy, chic, and mysterious.

Kayali Vanilla | 28 Eau de Parfum

This is an absolute must for every fragrance wardrobe.

Vanilla takes the spotlight here, but notes of syrupy jasmine, tonka absolute, and brown sugar will keep you coming back for more. Its amber and musk base adds a beautiful creamy base to the fragrance, and it also makes the scent perfect for layering with other scents.

“It is a soft vanilla scent and the brown sugar really stands out. It’s a year-round scent,” TikToker @makeupsessions says.

Users also found it hard to get their hands on the 100ml bottle since it’s constantly sold out. “I have two small bottles of it, I can never get my hands on the big one,” a user wrote.
